LEAST RELIABLE AUTOMOBILES

March 31, 2017

I know I’m spoiled. I like to know that when I get behind the wheel, put the key in the ignition, start my vehicle, pull out of the driveway, etc. I can get to my destination without mechanical issues. I think we all are basically there. Now, to do that, you have to maintain your “ride”. I have a 1999 Toyota Pre-runner with 308,000 plus miles. Every three thousand miles I have it serviced. Too much you say? Well, I do have 308K and it’s still humming like a Singer Sewing Machine.

Mr. Charles Murry has been following the automotive industry for over thirty years. Mr. Murry is also a senior editor for Design News Daily Magazine. Much of the information below results from his recent post on the TEN MOST UNRELIABLE VEHICLES. Each year Consumer Reports receives over one-half million consumer surveys on reliability information relative to the vehicles they drive. The story is not always not a good one. Let’s take a look at what CU readers consider the must unreliable vehicles and why.

Please keep in mind this is a CU report based upon feedback from vehicle owners. Please do not shoot the messenger. As always, I welcome your comments and hope this help your buying research.
